Roadmap: 4 week introductory course with Michael Nagler

How many times have you heard someone say, where do we go from here? ROADMAP  just might be an answer. Roadmap is a strategic plan drawing on Gandhian principles for long-term nonviolent transformation with the potential to unite all of our various projects and passions without sacrificing their individuality.  The goal is to effect a transition from spontaneous protest to unstoppable movement.  It will draw upon our individual capacities for constructive and, where necessary, direct resistant action and reinforce the unity-in-diversity of the awakening consciousness around social change. “We all belong here.”

So, are you ready to build strategy for a long-term nonviolent movement? In celebration of the launch of the Roadmap project in the front-inside cover of Tikkun magazine, the Metta Center is offering a free 4-week introductory course on nonviolence and the Roadmap with Michael Nagler on February 16, February 23, March 2 and March 9. 

Registrants will meet in a teleconference setting 2 hours per week (Saturday 11 am PST or 2 pm EST)with Michael Nagler and will spend the week integrating the ideas presented in each session, bringing new questions and insights into subsequent sessions.

The course is structured as follows:

Session 1 (February 16): Introduction to Nonviolence

Session 2 (February 23): Introduction to the Roadmap (emphasis on key sectors and main resources)

Session 3 (March 2): The “Story of Belonging” and how this “new story” underlies the principle work of the Roadmap

Session 4 (March 9): Strategy session for movement organizing, question and answers and group discussion. 

Sessions will be recorded.
